The Science-Art Centre

An Important Observation

The Cultural Counsellor for the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Canberra, Mr Wand Zhigang and the Chinese Science-Art Delegation invited to the Science-Art Festival 2004 were extremely enthusiastic about the potential of futuristic Science-Art quantum biological science and technology as an integral aspect of the betterment of the global human condition. This was expressed at their attendance at a conference held at the Science-Art Centre, attended also by the Director of the Australian Sustainability Research Institute.

During the following year this cultural enthusiasm was seen to wane under a change of Chinese government's disposition regarding future militaristic protection of Chinese economic expansion in our region. This had been forewarned by China's most highly awarded physicist, Kun Huang, in 1979, when advising the Science-Art Research Centre on how to measure the life force governing seashell evolution. Kun Huang, who had advised Neils Bohr and David Bohm that Einstein's hostility to any humane modification to the prevailing understanding of the Second Law of Thermodynamics would prevent any possibility of future genuine global cooperation, which would bring a growing China into eventual conflict with Western economic science and philosophy.

The Science-Art workshops involved public debate on developing cultural values that would advocate resolutions to such cultural conflict. Their Signs of Our Times, voted into existence through democratic debate, were adopted by Quantum Art International in Europe as being central to future Science-Art technologies that would exist for the genuine benefit of the global human condition.
